a rebound relationship is when someone very quickly becomes involved with a new person after a breakup. Sometimes it is for selfish motives on their part, and the new and unsuspecting person is being used. As for personal experience, I met my wonderful husband just 7 days after my divorce from a nasty abusive alcoholic husband was finalized. I went back and forth as to if I was doing the right thing or needed more time. Well five years later, we are still together and happy as ever. So each situation is as different as each individual - in other words, it's not wrong or right - it is what it is and only time will tell how it will turn out.

Rebound means that you are in the relationship just for either:
A. Dont want to be lonely..so you pick anyone that gives you attention.
B. Want to get back at your ex some how, so you find another guy/girl to make out with and have all around fun, including sex.
or
C. To boost your ego and low self-esteem from break up.
The rebound position is a VERY negative position to be in unless you expect that person to most likely leave once their interest in you is gone. If you are using them for the same reasons, than its no big deal.
I am currently in the position right now where I MAY be the rebound girl, however I am not giving sex until I am secure that the guy isn't going to leave me immediately. There are ways to avoid being the rebound person and that is having respect for yourself. You don't have to give that person things that they crave and you will know easily if they are really in it for you or for them.
Remember that any girl/guy that becomes your hook up/gf or bf is considered a rebound person. Which is why I took the time to heal and work on myself before I just jump into another relationship to hide and make myself feel good. Everyone should take a time out before they date again, because it isn't fair for the person that actually cares about you to deal with that.

The rebound is the person you meet right after you get out of an old relationship. Really your not emotionally available yet, but your lonely, and this person is there and you seem to have a good time etc. At the time.. you'll think your really into the person, but really.. they are just filling a gap in your life. And eventually you realize they are not really your type. I always find myself going... why the hell did I date that guy after? The answer.... because I was bored!

Rebound is when you go after someone else to get your mind off another person. No, I don't believe it always works, just something to keep you busy for a while.

Rebound is when you're upset about a breakup, so you go and be with someone else RIGHT AWAY. It usually doesn't work out because your heart is still with the person you miss.

A rebound relationship means you have just gotten out of one relationship and jumped into another.
Usually those do not work out, because you did so just to have someone.
Later you find someone you'd rather be with and you take it slower.

I never understood the purpose because the person you rebound with is being used.....and you're going to have another break-up.
I think people should just wait and date different people until you find someone you feel a connection with.

It gets your mind off the current situations and focuses on something else. No it doesn't always work, it's a temporary solution.
